Golf Championship "Moving Day" in St Annes.

It has been an incredibly busy round of breakfast this morning, but everyone is now fully prepped and fueled for a wonderful day out on the golf course. The excitement around the house has been building up all morning. Today is "Moving Day", the crucial third round of the AIG Women’s Open over at Royal Lytham & St Annes, and you can absolutely feel the buzz in the air. On my side of things, this is peak St Annes. As the calendar page turns to August, the town is officially at its very best. The streets are alive, the atmosphere is fantastic, and there is nothing quite like seeing the area thriving under the international spotlight. Right, the rooms are all turned over and ready for the afternoon arrivals, so it’s time to get myself sorted for the next wave of check-ins. Until next time, The Fylde Hotelier

Summer Blooms and a Free Hour.

I’ve been out in the front garden at The Claremont a lot this week, trying my best to keep things tidy. Now that the hanging baskets have had a couple of weeks to settle in, they are requiring a bit more regular attention. I’ve spent a few quiet pockets of time deadheading the trailing petunias and geraniums to encourage more flowers, giving them a good feed, and trying to keep the edges looking crisp ahead of our summer check-ins.

It’s steady, satisfying work, and anyone who knows me knows how much I love gardening. It’s always been my favourite way to clear my head.

Because of that, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I can steal a brief window of time this afternoon. The Shepherd Road allotment site is opening its gates to visitors today, but they close at 3pm. If I can manage to find a free minute in the next hour I would love to head round there. There is something so inspiring about seeing what other local growers are doing with their plots.

Right, I'd better get cracking if I want to stand any chance of slipping away!


Until next time,
